Fuel Pressure Regulator Screw Size

[Swanji]

Can someone please tell me the size of the screws that secure the fuel pressure regulator? Mine are stripped and I need new ones, but I can't find the size anywhere on google.

The only place that has the official screws available for order online is a site in Latvia, and they want $75 for shipping. They also don't tell you the size of the screw.

This is for a 2002 R50 Pathfinder SE

I couldn't believe the $75 no matter where it would come from but I now see the cost in the USA is $55 plus shipping and tax, which puts it at about $81 for a not so special screw. I don't understand that. I had replaced my regulator several months back and saw nothing special about these screws. On Nissan Parts Deal I found a poor item description of the screw that indicates "0.5 x 0.2 x 0.2 inches" for this metric screw. To put that into real numbers for this screw, I'm betting it is an M5-0.8 pitch x 13mm long screw. I've often seen cylindrical things dimensioned as something like 0.2 x 0.2 which would be 5.08 x 5.08 in millimeters and the 0.5 inch length would be 12.7mm, so the closest best fit for a metric screw is M5-0.8 x 13mm and I'm very confident that is what I saw when I replaced my old regulator.

I think you're correct. M5 x 13mm will do. Thank you for the info

Since this pricing is so wrong for a basic screw, I had to look further. I found the original part at a site in Japan for 179 yen ($1.28) I'm guessing someone at Nissan made a typo entering a MSRP of $55.00 for international sales, instead of $0.55, and nobody has ever corrected it.
